Frequently Asked Questions
Homemade popsicles are best enjoyed within 2 to 3 weeks for optimal flavor and texture. After this period, they may develop freezer burn or lose their fresh taste. Properly sealing them helps maintain quality longer.
If you don’t have popsicle molds, small paper cups or silicone ice cube trays work well as alternatives. Insert wooden sticks after the mixture has partially frozen to keep them upright. These options still produce easy-to-handle frozen treats.
Fresh lemon juice provides the best bright, natural flavor for this recipe. However, bottled lemon juice can be used if fresh is unavailable. Just make sure it contains 100% juice without added preservatives or sweeteners.
